In [[2552]], the [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] super soldier known as [[UNSC ranks|Master Chief]] [[John-117]] successfully detonated the fusion reactors of the [[Halcyon-class light cruiser|Halcyon-class cruiser]] [[UNSC Pillar of Autumn]], destroying the alien artifact known as Installation 04 (Alpha Halo). Nearly all of the resulting debris was confirmed to have either fallen into the gravitational fields of the gas-giant [[Threshold]] or its moon, [[Basis]]. The remaining shards and pieces formed a debris field that remained in orbit. While various [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] craft have surveyed and studied pieces of the broken ring - including the [[UNSC Red Horse]] in late 2552 – at least 30% of its mass and curvature remain unaccounted. The whereabouts of the missing material/objects are unknown, and no viable conjecture can be given at this time.
